Hi everyone. I'm still making Christmas gifts. I'm so far behind schedule I'm not sure if I will be finished in time. All that aside, it's great to have an excuse to do some much crafting.

This is a new trinket box that I have made. I love making these and they make such great gifts. This one is hand stamped with fairy writing in faded jeans distress ink. The tag was done using the same colour.

I have used an Anitas dimensions butterfly as well as a die cut butterfly in silver and lots of 2mm clear crystals. I love my flowers and the ones I get from Wild Orchid Crafts are great.

The blue ribbon matches the one I used on the tag and the cream lace works really well with the ivory flowers.

White on white cards are a scary prospect for me. I've made white on white cards before, but it is always a struggle. I quite enjoyed making this one tho. I love this lace and Kenny K digis are so easy to use, this one just sort of came together.

This was a very easy make. Cuttlebug embossing folders, Spun Sugar distress ink, some luscious lace and a few pearls. I couldn't resist adding some iridescent glitter glue.

It has been a week or two since my last post as life has taken over my little bit of crafty time. Luckily, I have been able to do a bit over the last two days. I have a list of Christmas cards that I am making along with presents for family members. There just are not enough crafting hours in the day. This little wooden box was made for fun, so no pressure :-)

I love doing these trinket boxes. Exploring the possibilities of what I can do with them and what new techniques I can try.

This one is hand stamped using tea dye distress ink on the top and the tag. I bought the fairy writing stamp a while a go for a project that I haven't gotten around to starting yet, so this is the first time I have used it. I have also used the tea dye ink around the sides to add colour and heat set it. The butterflies are embossed with gold embossing powder and I have added some 2mm gems. This is the first time that I have tried using a tag on one of my trinket boxes and I am very pleased with the result.

Welcome to Craftily Sugar Brown.

Although I started papercrafting back in 2005, but I still consider myself to be a newby as I am always learning new stuff. I had to give up papercrasfting for about three and a half years and have only really gotten back in to crafting in January 09.
